chapter four part 2

There was another major problem facing the crew; the ropes were being torn and looked like they would not last the rest of the expedition. This part mainly focuses on the boats encounters with the sea life. They encounter all different types of sea life including; dolphins, turtles, sardines, and sharks. They come upon a rare fish called the Gemplyus when they find it in one of their sleeping bags. The scariest moment for the crew is when a whale shark starts to circle around them. What is the chance that they come upon the biggest creature known to man! I cannot imagine what was going through their head.

"We werer now in the South Equatorial Current and moving in a westerly direction just 400 sea miles south of the Galapagos." The narrator does not use much dialogue  in this chapter but has very good imagery and description to keep the reader interested. The chapter ends with the crew having to watch a turtle get attacked by a pack of dolphins. It made me feel the roughness and harshness of sea.
